Nice!

I just spent over 5 minutes whispering it to myself like a freak.

Terpsichore got me :(

tl;dr

I am English. Ergo, my English is more immaculater than youse.

What does this make me read it in the voice of Anthony Hopkins?

If you can pronounce correctly every word in this poem, you will be speaking English better than 90% of the native English speakers in the world. After trying the verses, a Frenchman said he’d prefer six months of hard labour to reading six lines aloud.

Epic win on the part of DJ this weekend.

I've been out of sorts all weekend - dreading NYE - so was moody, tetchy, upset, cold, bitchy etc. and this wasn't helped by having to abort last night's NYE ride and then our ride today (to find a decent goddamn coffee in his least favourite part of SE London) because of the rain.

All through this he has been patient, loving, supportive and fun.

Then this afternoon he totally wooed and wowed my family by cooking them a superb roast dinner at my mum's house, wearing my brother's ill-fitting clothes since his were all wet. He hardly said a word about the blunt knives, the erratic oven, the ineffective oven gloves or the absence of tin foil. My mother duly rewarded him with chocolate and has even given him a toothbrush.

James, you are a legend.

It is, yes.

My mother has even given him a toothbrush.
